Hello,

Some of you might find this of use...

I have recently taken some time to create a script that will automatically 
expand the fourth partition of a Technologic Systems SD card to take up the 
full capacity of your SD card (works with JFS and EXT3).  

For example, say you have the 512MB SD image for a TS-7350 or TS-7800 and you 
have just imaged a 4GB SD card with it.  Now, you want to take advantage of the 
additional 3.5GB for Debian.  Simply run this script like "grow_sd /dev/sdb" 
(assuming /dev/sdb is the device node  where your SD card was enumerated; use 
"fdisk -l" to find out) and the script will do it for you.

You can download this script here (may need to "right-click -> save target 
as..." to download):

I tested it out on a couple of different cards (both jfs and ext3) with 
success.  Just remember to back up your data.  This script doesn't come with 
any sort of warranty.  ;)

Be sure to check out the comments within the script for more information.
